Apollitical King Retires to CSJ Ranch for 2027 Breeding Season

Apollitical King is retiring from racing to begin his career as a stallion in 2027, StallioneSearch.com reported.

The 2022 brown stallion will stand at CSJ Ranch in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for the upcoming breeding season. According to StallioneSearch.com, his introductory breeding fee has been set at $2,000.

This transition allows breeders to access elite Quarter Horse bloodlines. Apollitical King carries the lineage of one of the sport’s most dominant figures, Apollitical Jess, combined with a maternal pedigree defined by multiple championship titles.

A pedigree of championship performance

The stallion’s value is rooted in a lineage that has consistently produced high-earning athletes. His sire, Apollitical Jess SI 107, is a world champion who earned $1,399,831 on the track. Beyond his own racing success, Apollitical Jess has become a leading sire of sires, with progeny earnings exceeding $90.5 million across 13 crops.

Apollitical King’s dam, Flash And Roll SI 99, adds further depth to his genetic profile. She was a three-time AQHA Racing Champion, earning $1,710,718 during her career. Her accolades include titles as the AQHA Racing Champion Two-Year-Old, Champion Two-Year-Old Filly, and Champion Three-Year-Old Filly.

The influence of this family extends back through multiple generations. His second dam, Stylish Jess BR SI 102, was also an AQHA Racing Champion Aged Mare and earned $804,298. She earned the prestigious AQHA Supreme Race Horse and Superior Race Horse honors during her tenure in the sport.

The following table outlines the performance metrics of the immediate family members mentioned in the lineage:

Apollitical Jess	Sire	World Champion	$1,399,831
Flash And Roll	Dam	3-time AQHA Champion	$1,710,718

Apollitical King earned $42,807 during his racing career

While his pedigree suggests immense potential, Apollitical King’s own racing record consists of two wins, two seconds, and two thirds from 23 starts. He earned a total of $42,807 during his time on the track.

Despite these numbers, he proved his capability by qualifying for the finals of several high-stakes events, including the Black Gold Colts and Geldings Futurity, the Altoona Derby, the Will Rogers Juvenile Challenge Stakes, and the Prairie Meadows Derby Challenge Stakes.

For those interested in the commercial aspect of his career, Apollitical King was originally a $165,000 graduate of the 2023 Ruidoso Select Yearling Sale. He was purchased by Tom Maher from the consignment of Julianna Hawn Holt.

The move to Albuquerque places him at CSJ Ranch, located at 5789 Maplewood Lane SW. Breeders looking to secure contracts for the 2027 season can contact the ranch via phone at (505) 319-2302 or through email at [email protected].

Apollitical King’s entry into the breeding market follows a long history of Apollitical Jess progeny, such as KJ Desparado SI 118 and Empressum SI 111, who have set high benchmarks for the sire line.
